Rich takes the hill

Rich Hill took the mound for today's game at Roger Dean Stadium and the first batter he faced was Felix Pie, which provided an interesting juxtaposition since Andy MacPhail was criticized for bringing both of them into the Orioles organization last year.

Of course, Hill's control and injury problems undermined the attempt to reclaim his career in Baltimore, but Pie eventually proved to be a fairly valuable addition. Just interesting that they would face enough other to start the game.

If you were wondering, Pie walked.

Instant update: Hill also walked Lou Montanez and gave up a groundball RBI single to Nolan Reimold. He went on to give up two runs on two hits and two walks in the first inning.
